2013 Thomas J. Henry Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway

In the rainy, windy 45 degree weather on North Lower Broadway and Starr streets, the staff of Thomas J. Henry Law Offices formed an assembly line near an H-E-B truck. The team of paralegals donned ponchos over dress shirts and delivered boxes containing Thanksgiving turkeys to registered members of churches and nonprofit organizations to be redistributed to needy families.
